Opera and music theatre

Voice types, closed numbers, staging and the running of a house — the words an opera house uses about itself.

El reparto is the cast, and it is also the van at the door. In a theatre it is the list of who sings what: el reparto vocal, un reparto de lujo. In a shop it is the delivery round: el reparto a domicilio, una furgoneta de reparto. Under both sits the plain verb repartir, to hand out — reparte las cartas. English took two unrelated words for the two jobs, so nothing carries over: a « cast » that arrives by van and a « delivery » of singers are the same mistake twice.
